The work is very reasonably priced and it’s all designed/hand-drawn/painted by me, Sheamus Burns, aka TheLearningBrain. I’m raising money for my year of self-imposed sabbatical travel through Asia (Starting this July in India). I will also be making new artwork while I’m abroad — hope to be inspired by my travels and experiences.

TheLearningBrain is also an artist!
20 Drawings and Paintings have disappeared from the inventory thanks to some great people who have chosen to support my art, work and travel this coming year.
If you’re interested, I’ve still got 30+ pieces left. All the proceeds go to help fund my year living and traveling through out asia (starting July), where I’ll be spending my time volunteering and making artwork.
Art Giveaway!
The facts part: This is one of my original paintings titled “Truth is of No Color”, which is part of the motto from Frederick Douglass’ North Star Newspaper. The painting is acrylic and oil on wood. It’s about 10” x 20”.
The fun part: If this image can get 200 notes, I will take all the tumblr users who liked or reblogged it, put them into a hat and randomly pick one to send the original artwork to for free.

I’m selling it all to raise money for my year of art-making and volunteering throughout Asia, starting in July. (in case you don’t see it, the brown silhouettes are people falling through space)
I love the internet. I’ve sold more of my artwork since putting up an etsy shop two weeks ago than I’ve sold in the past 2 years.

Hey everyone! As many of you know I’m travelling to India in July to begin a year of making art, volunteering, and travel throughout Asia. I’m looking to raise some money to support this trip (since I won’t be working while I’m there) and have collected all the old artwork that has been sitting in my studio to put on etsy. All the proceeds from the sale of my art will go to my trip through Asia (and also paying off my student loans!) If you would like to get some new art, here’s your chance. Right now I’ve put up about 12 pieces, but more are on there way. I probably have 75 works that I’m going to put up for sale over the next couple days. Please check it out, and share this post if you wouldn’t mind! Thanks! - Sheamus
Keeping in Practice: A still life I spent some time on while my students worked on their own drawings.
Part of this series of drawing/painting meditations I’ve been doing daily for the last week or so.

After six years teaching at Lawrenceville, I had the best Winter Gathering classes (parents attend classes with their kids) this morning because I decided to involve the parents, break the kids into teams and play jeopardy based on their knowledge and skills of art & design. It was a hit, along with the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies I brought in.
If anyone wants to steal my art & design jeopardy for their classroom, here you go.
